Our Rooms

Each room operates a key worker system for children. Rooms are supported by a highly experienced creche manager. We aim to provide children with an educational grounding to ensure they enter big school happy and confident.

The Toddler Room

Age:  1year – 3years   Adult-child Ratio:1-5

 

​

A day in our Toddler Room features structured and free play, circle time, story telling, role play, music and dancing, table top activities, arts & crafts, sand and water play and lots more!  

​

Each month is structured around a learning theme.

We work with parent’s home routine regarding sleep times and supporting potty training.

​

At the end of each day parents will receive a information sheet ab detailing how your child’s day was, how their form was, sleep times, nappy changes and food they ate through out the day.

Preschool Rooms

Junior Preschool:  Age:  2years 8months – 4 years  

Adult-child Ratio: 1-11

​

Our inspiration for all activities is drawn up from the children’s own interests. A monthly plan gives the children a chance to explore and learn about a topic in depth, through arts & crafts, role play, songs, stories, dress up.

​

Circle time; each child shares their news, sing songs, learn the alphabet, numbers, colours, days, months, seasons etc.

We aim to get out door play every day weather permitting.

In our senior room we again work off children’s own interests and incorporate it into our learning activity.

​

We teach life skills to develop confidence in children, giving children little jobs, sweeping the floor, giving out lunches, cleaning the table etc.

​

Through out the morning we do many activities:

Physical play: dancing, ball games, catch etc

Social play: By playing with others, children learn how to take turns, cooperate and share.

Constructive play: allows children to experiment with drawing, music and building

Role play: dress up
